Without any useful information about your problem I/anyone else cannot help you to create a proper installer.

Here is a link to a video that may help you solve whatever you are trying to do.
The video clearly states anything but the expres editions

However seeing as you are using the express edition this will be of more help
It requires no coding knolege and will get the job done. Nothing more nothing less.
